Catastrophic Injury

Catastrophic injuries inevitably occur suddenly and have enormous impact on the victim. A serious scald or burn injury may cause severe disruption to the central nervous system which impacts on other systems of the body often causing loss of movement, sensation, and communicative and cognitive abilities. In the most serious cases the injury may affect respiration, circulation, the urinary system and the gastrointestinal system. Dealing with catastrophic injury often requires the expertise of physicians, consultants, nurses, therapists and counselors. Whilst the general belief is that serious scalds and burns are almost exclusively an industrial risk it is a sad fact that almost half of all hospital admissions for burns and scalds arise as a result of injuries which occur at home to children under 5 years old.

Industrial Accidents

Industrial environments are the location for some of the worst incidents of catastrophic injury caused by severe burns resulting from electrocution, explosions, caustic chemicals, molten metals and scalds from superheated liquids and gases. In particular explosions in the chemical industry can be life threatening and survivors may suffer from extensive third degree burns requiring skin grafts, plastic surgery and years of rehabilitation. Smoke inhalation caused by an explosion can cause respiratory injury and subsequent oxygen restriction can lead to severe brain injury.

Burns Injury Compensation Claims

Severe burns and scalds are some of the most painful types of personal injury often resulting in scarring and disfigurement. Serious burn injuries can be life threatening particularly if they are extensive or affect vital organs. Victims of burns and scarring can also suffer emotional and psychological problems. Dependent on the extent and severity of the injury and the long term effects, a burn injury compensation claim can result in a very substantial damages award.
